Tales from Planet Earth (Nov 1-3)

Tales from Planet Earth is a film festival featuring
environmental films from around the world. From the fanciful to the profound,
the films selected should engage audiences in thoughtful discussion of environmental
issues and the use of film media to capture and to examine those issues.Attending the festival will be many of the
film-makers themselves with whom to discuss their work.

All festival events are free and open to the public as
space/seating accommodates. The opening roundtable, moderated by Professor Gregg Mitman, will feature Ruth Ozeki, Alex Rivera,
Marie-Hélène Cousineau, and Zach Kunuk in a conversation examining questions of
time and culture in the age of the Anthropocene (marking the unprecedented
scale of human impact upon the planet).
